Literature Circle

Literature Circles- Read and Discuss Day 1

Lesson 3.1.4

• As we complete Lit Circle, we want to be good participants

• Active participant: being engaged in an activity, being aware of what is happening, and being alert. Your mind is focused on what you are doing.

• Passive participant: being included in a situation but not taking part in it. You are there, but you are focused on something else.

Active vs. Passive

• Make sure you are following the norms listed below throughout Unit 3

  • Respect

  • Ideas, not individuals

  • Appropriate language

  • Inclusive atmosphere

  • Personal experiences

  • Active participation

• If you need more information about our norms, click through the slides on page 4 in your edio lesson

Lit Circle Norms

• Your classmates will probably not be completing the same job as you every day

• You have the freedom to complete the literature circle jobs in the order you choose

• You can still have a good discussion with your classmates even if you are completing different jobs (or are at different sections of the book)
